Besides the arguments other had already presented deep tables are not always good tables. No point to take a seat at deep table when only a bunch of you guys are sitting there.

well then create some new ones.
I mean if there were 65% deep tables and the rest was only filled with shortstackers, we all know were the fish would end up.

edit also the addition of the deep icon (like in tourneys) was a real problem. It was way easier before (or maybe it was because I was at 10NL at that time) to get these Cable (deep) tables going, insofar fish would not even notice.

starting deep tables is the way to go

Jason's starting tables concept of the week again for anyone who missed it

lol wat ? (the guy is 9/8)


Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 7 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: $49.25
SB: $49.75
Hero (BB): $50.00
UTG: $61.60
UTG+1: $103.45
MP: $119.05
CO: $8.25

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with T T
UTG raises to $1.75, 5 folds, Hero calls $1.25

Flop: ($3.75) T 6 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50

Turn: ($8.75) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $5, UTG calls $5

River: ($18.75) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $16, UTG calls $16

Can you please explain why you didn't raise the flop? If he has a hand like JJ-KK than any Q-A or any spade could kill your action on the turn

because he cbets like 95%, but yeah you're right prolly fpsed a tad

yeah but he probs cbets 95% because he always has an overpair, lol

raise flop ainec

The problem is there isn't enough deep tables. Right now in the 50nl lobby, there are 67 tables and only 6 of them are deep tables. If full tilt changed the lobby to 50% min 50 bb BI tables, this would fix the SS probably immediately.



See my comments about there not being enough deep tables. But I agree that the icon is probably a scare to the fish. They should remove it and label the regular tables as short tables. That way it will make them want to buy in at the regular tables and not the panzy short tables.

RR... I have been making an effort to be civil in the FTP Answer threads....and most definately have been PMing those that haven't been. WE need to take the high ground..... our voices might get heard if we avoid all the ***** attacks.

My "plan" if you haven't read the thread (tho I thot I saw a post from you?)

C20-inf
S20-100
_50-100
D50-200

this gives everyone what they want. Think about it guys.....do you REALLY want the shorts to disappear? They provide a ton of income to FTP. That's a good thing as we will all benefit as FTP throws money into bonii, more (any) cust serv, better software etc.....

With the tables above, we fullstackers don't ever have to see a short again. THAT is a good thing.

The shorts get access to the 100BB fish. WTF do we care, as long as some of the fish float our way? I suspect the fish will gravitate to the 50-100BB tables as OUR NUMBER 1 FUTURE JOB IS TO GET THE WORD OUT. Tell the fish WHY 20-100 is harder to play..... we'll get our share.

that's not how table creation works

there is not a set number of regular and deep tables, new ones spawn as people create them and excess empty tables disappear

Then change it so it is that way. As it is now, fish will jump on a REGULAR table before a SCARY DEEP table. But if you make 50% of the tables 50 BB min, then it solves the problem, people are forced to play on them and then they will become juicier and then more people will want to play on them, and so on.

you can't just fix the number of tables, any table system needs to adapt to different player volumes... it would be a huge failure if e.g. all the deep tables fill up and all the waitlists get 20 deep or there are too many empty tables so they all end up shorthanded

but... people are gonna be much happier to start (and join) 50-100bb tables than deep tables, especially if they become the "regular" tables instead of the scary "deep" ones

which is what we are campaigning for

I think his point is that its not up to FTP to fix the mix of tables running, its up to you. Cliff's: start deep tables.

What's up with the "Poker Coaching chips", have I missed something, I want one too

I want one!

Hey Kurt, lets make our own!

They started a new coaching site. Not sure if I am allowed to link it in here but you can google the name and you will find it fairly fast.

Me too. Since I suck so bad at poker, maybe I can make $$ by coaching.












oh,,,,,wait..............

at least shove the river.

not interested in coaching? Usually wise old curmudgeon like yourself have the best knowledge.. (that was a compliment).

Oh had no idea about that, cool.

Do we get free coaching ITT or what?

Edit: Oh that's why Rapid was at 25NL the other night, cool I might be in a vid.

Edit: Looking at the name, does that mean it's free, what's the catch?

Don't fold KK pf at the micros

lol I love this.
